3. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #29 to Recognize Additional North
Carolina Department of Transportation Rural Operators Assistance Program Funds of
$77,383 & for Appropriation to Expenditure Line Items: Transportation Director Ben
Garrison said grants for $25,352 (elderly/disabled services funds) and $52,031 (rural general
funds) were recently received, and the money needed to be applied towards providing additional
transportation services (salaries, supplies, and vehicle maintenance/repairs.)
4. Request from the Sheriffs Department for Approval of Budget Amendment #30 for
the Appropriation of Seized Funds to Purchase an Evidence Storage System at the Hwy. 21
site ($44,000) and an Upgrade to the Microfilm Imaging Machine ($19,000): Captain Jimmie
Craven, with the Sheriff's Department, said crime evidence had to be stored at the jail annex
necessitating the purchase of a storage system, and that a microfilming upgrade (compatibility for
DVDs) was needed. He requested that both items be purchased out of seized funds.
5. Request for the Awarding of a Video Arraignment Contract to VUGATE in the
Amount of $60,679 (Project will enable communication between the Mooresville Courts &
the Iredell County Jail): Purchasing Agent Dean Lail said VUGATE (a company specializing
in multimedia networking communication) had reconfirmed a $60,679 quote for a video
arraignment system. He said there was only one VUGATE representative in North Carolina, and
this limited the available bids. Lail said compatibility and integration with the system already in
use (Statesville court facilities to Jail) was crucial, and for this reason, the staff recommended
approval to purchase the system from VUGATE. He said the General Statutes authorized local
governments to award contracts without bidding when "standardization or compatibility was an
overriding consideration."
6. Request for Review and/or Concurrence with Amendments to the Procedures
Currently in use when Evaluating Release of Jurisdiction Cases: Acting Planning Director
Steve Warren said that at a past meeting, the board requested information regarding possible
procedural changes for release of jurisdiction requests and for there to be a focus on providing
adequate public notice. He then reviewed the current procedures and the proposed changes.
Warren said release of jurisdiction requests were policy decisions, and they did not require
ordinances or ordinance amendments.
The current release of jurisdiction procedures are summarized as follows:
A property owner (or applicant) submits to the planning staff:
a. A letter requesting release of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction which includes
parcel numbers and the proposed use of the property;
b. A map of the property;
c. A letter from the Town Clerk stating the water and sewer provisions to the property
being considered for release has been approved, when it was approved, and if an
annexation petition was filed;
d. A copy of the minutesfrom the Town Board meeting when the approval was given.
2. Planning staff prepares a report which includes:
a. Property description, zoning, land use, traffic counts, watershed regulations, and
zoning history;
b. Staff opinion about the release and how the County Land Use Plan addresses future
land use of this area,
c. Maps of the property to illustrate aspects of the staff report;
3. The Planning Director reviews the staff report and if satisfied with the contents, forwards the
release of jurisdiction report to the County Manager.
a. The County Manager reviews and if he chooses, can make comments on the cover
sheet.
